Two-way options for the Miami Heat: Mason Jones

Mason Jones is a 6-4 shooting guard who played for both the Rockets and 76ers last season. He’s a versatile defender who could also develop into a solid scorer.

Despite playing limited minutes, Jones actually shot fairly efficiently in his first NBA season. In 32 total games (10.4 minutes per game), he averaged 5.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 42.3% from the field and 36.4% from deep.

Jones spent two years in college at Arkansas and was an absolute bucket for them. He averaged 22.0 points for the Razorbacks in his sophomore season.

His versatility on both ends of the floor makes him a prime candidate for a two-way spot. The Miami Heat should definitely give him a chance.

Two-way options for the Miami Heat: Admiral Schofield

Admiral Schofield played for the Hawks’ Summer League team this year but has bounced around a lot thus far in his NBA career. He was drafted by the 76ers, immediately traded to the Wizards, then to the Thunder, then waived by Oklahoma City.

This past season, Schofield was the first overall pick in the G-League draft ahead of G-League Bubble. His defensive prowess and shooting ability make him an intriguing prospect.

He was an elite shooter in college, shooting over 38% three years in a row at Tennessee. If the Heat can develop him correctly, there’s no reason he can’t replicate that success in the NBA.

Schofield, though only 6-5 as a small forward, is built like a truck and plays solid defense. The Heat should definitely give him a look when considering players for their second two-way spot.
